Final Exam (Intro to Christian Bible)

 I had a final exam I had today in this class. This has made me realize that the Lord has really blessed me. I thank God for having me to learn more from the Bible and to understand it. I am proud to say I love going to Church to engage what the Lord has for all of us. During my spring semester schedule I'll be taking Intro to Christian faith: Understanding & Application.  As this is another step in my walk with the Lord as this is really has made an impact in my life. I would really like to thank my parents for helping my brother and I the best as they could learning about the Bible. It's so amazing and I thank the Lord. I have passed this class and I could not be much more proud in my spiritual life.  I got a 90% I found this out on eLearn powered by Judson which has made me realize I have so many abilities and think of them besides my disability for it does not define who I am. I am a new creation. 

Intro to Christian Bible (Update)

 This week I had an exam in one of my classes in Intro to the Christian Bible. I didn't know how well I did until I found out later during this week (today). After class today I found out I got a 90%! This was really amazing to me which I thought this was unexpected with this passing grade. I've been learning very well also with my faith in the Lord while I'm taking this class. I'm getting the concept what this means to follow Christ to believe as much as possible. With the faith I have the Lord is working in my life I always thought understanding the Bible is understanding the Truth of life. I can only imagine what the Lord is doing in my life when I'm taking this class. I praise God, I thank God in everything I do in Jesus Name. 

Culinary Skills (Cooking Class)

 I've been learning a lot in my classes. Today I'll be talking about one of them. Today in class my classmates and I did this all by ourselves. In class we're learning about knife safety and also how to use the knife when cutting food items. Today was slicing and cutting vegetables. This was with celery, carrots, and cucumbers as all of this was really amazing. It was hard cutting carrots as by the fact I never did before. Half of our vegetables our class is using those vegetables into a vegetable soup this Thursday. Along side of this we're making biscuits along with the main dish. I'm getting lots of ways how to learn what it means to be careful in the kitchen when it comes to knife safety. I couldn't be more than proud how amazing I'm doing in class. I think I could see myself slicing and cutting with the knife back at home in the Quad Cities.

Off Campus Internship

My off campus internship is at Light of Christ Church. The way I got at my internship I have a Uber this is all covered and taking care of from the RISE Program. For me I don't have to worry about that. Today I was taking a tour from one of the staff members from the Church office. Then I got started with folding Operation Christmas Child boxes. There was 100 boxes. I had  some experiences with Operation Christmas Child for searching for whatever is needed for them. My family and I has been doing this as far as I could remember for the child's needs. Now I know how to fold the Operation Christmas Child boxes all by myself. My advisor is really impressed for all the work I did today. I love this internship at Light of Christ Church. It's just amazing. I pray the Lord will use me to something that I wouldn't choose for myself. The Lord is always faithful and will lead me to what's ahead as of my off campus internship. I'm very blessed. I am wanted no matter who I am for it is in Christ who is greater in the world. Praise God for what He's doing in my life!!

2nd Year Approaching

 I have completed my first year at Judson as I'm very proud what I do it's amazing as what God is doing as life goes on. What's amazing is I'll be returning as a 2nd year student as I believe the Lord is using a mighty work in my life going forward. 2nd year is pretty big for me and also my cohort friends as to the spring of 2023 graduating. It's unbelievable just the way what God has in store in life. As though I see God on campus as to wherever I go. I'll be returning to campus next weekend to start 2nd year. Becoming a 2nd year is more independent with lots of responsibilities however I think I can do it with all I have within me, also with the help would have. I have to be thankful for the many things what I have been capable of in the RISE Program. I have learned so much during my first year. Although I think becoming a 2nd year would make me realize how to learn to be independent with the fact how I reflect during my first year. As I believe 2nd year would be the main point of independence.   

Exciting News To Share

 Today I found out I am certified and I passed my class for Intro to Special Education 105. I received it from one of the RISE staff. It's unbelievable until I realized it today. I have come so far in my class but I have to admit I am very proud of myself as I should be. I am proudly to announce my certification. When I am very proud of my accomplishments I am very thankful what I'm doing in my classes because I give it all to the Lord in everything I do. I am very blessed because I'm doing this not for myself for it is by God's glory and by God's grace. 

JU Update / Fun day

 Today was the new RISE students orientation and I was capable to introduce myself in addition talking about my experiences in the RISE Program during Brunch and I thought that was fun for me for the initiative for today. I met new students who have the same disability as I do, it was a joy, I think I'll like to be friends with them during the next school year. After Brunch today all of us went to the fitness center and we played games. There was (1) Soccer, (2) Basketball, (3) Hula Hoop, and  (4) Volleyball. I had fun but unfortunately I was going through emotional feelings eventually I made it through, I was focusing on myself medically which I do not want to discriminate / sharing. Later on after we were done with all the games in the fitness center.  We had a fun day outside because it was about in the 80s, I was walking around campus for quite sometime, in addition all of us played with sidewalk chalk because that brings me memories because I used to do that once I was young back at home in the Quad Cities. I had an amazing day and enjoyed it! Today's temperature kinda feels like summer.
